Why thankyou kind lady; having had a brief view of your gallery I find this is praise indeed

regards From a Colne Valley ex-pat

sounds like a good idea

could you possibly supply a little more detail please?

"Crowded"... I love it.

well I don't want to rain on your parade Tam but I am the guy in the black shirt, the guy in white is Jim Woodward who was site director at BERS and Mick -in the green shorts- ran the gas plant on the air base and did diving instruction at the water sports club. I confess I don't remember the big guy's name. Turtle Beach/Turtle Bay?? both terms seemed to be used interchangeably for various bits of the coastline. Don't recall a club house as such, we obtained our golf bats and sundry equipment from a lock-up shed.

thanks Pete; it was a spectacular day, 'Photoshop' handled all the tricky technical stuff -all I had to do was climb the mountain. John

No; actually it must have been about 4 or 5pm, It is one of series of shots starting with a faint plume of cloud on Pillar to complete white out in the space of about 5-10 minutes

Beautiful memories.

I have advice for anyone planning on swimming from the beach to this point: Wear swimming shoes.

Stepping on the algae or whatever it is just below the water level here, when in bare feet, is not a pleasant experience. A little on the gooey side, it is.
